Muslim group accuses Delta Air Lines of profiling passengers

Delta Air Lines racially profiled a Muslim husband and wife from West Chester, the Cincinnati chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations claimed Thursday.

CAIR-Cincinnati filed a complaint against Delta with the U.S. Department of Transportation. Faisal and Nazia Ali visited London and Paris to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. When they were set to fly home from Paris to CVG July 26, an airline employee singled out the couple for removal because she was not comfortable with them on board the plane, according to the group.

The Alis are American citizens who moved here from Pakistan 16 years ago. They have three children, who Nazia Ali said they were eager to see upon returning home.
